A Historic Properties Treatment Plan for Four Prehistoric Sites Along the Salt River Project's Proposed Southeast Power Link 230kV Transmission Line Corridor, Maricopa County, Arizona

Author(s): Sebastian Chamorro; Angela Huster

Year: 2022

Summary

Salt River Project (SRP) is proposing to construct a new 230kV transmission line in Maricopa County, Arizona (Project). The proposed Project entails the construction of seven miles of new overhead power lines that will follow a previously approved route. The proposed overhead transmission line will require the placement of 56 tubular steel pole structures. The corridor for the proposed Project varies between 100–205 feet (ft) wide. Additionally, a new 230/69kV receiving station will be built in the vicinity of the State Route 24 (SR 24) off-ramp that originates from Arizona Loop 202. Because 22.5 acres of the transmission line corridor, including some pole locations, fall within previously known archaeological sites, SRP contracted PaleoWest, LLC (PaleoWest) to prepare and implement this archaeological Historic Properties Treatment Plan (Plan) to mitigate the potential adverse effects of the ground disturbing activities associated with the pole placement. The four sites crossed by the corridor—AZ U:10:32(ASM), AZ U:10:56(ASM), AZ U:10:224(ASM), and AZ U:10:275(ASM)—are Prehistoric Period Hohokam habitation sites or artifact scatters.
